Rump "Seriously Sick": Ex-GOP Senator

Former Republican Senator Gordon Humphrey (R-NH) wrote a letter yesterday to New Hampshire's Congressional delegation, asking them to support H.R. 1987, a bill to set up a commission under the 25th Amendment to examine unhinged autocrat Donald "Rump" Trump's mental and physical fitness. Here are some excerpts from Humphrey's letter, which was printed in the Concord, NH Monitor:

"Donald Trump is impaired by a seriously sick psyche. His sick mind and reckless conduct could consume the lives of millions. The threat of nuclear war is steeply on the rise. [snip]

Donald Trump has shown repeated contempt for informed and wise counsel. He is sick of mind, impetuous, arrogant, belligerent and dangerous. Donald Trump should be relieved of the powers of the presidency at the earliest date. [snip]

We cannot leave our national security and our families’ safety in the hands of a president whose poor judgment, belligerence, vindictiveness and reckless impetuosity constitute an indictment of his mental health.

Donald Trump is seriously sick. He is dangerous."

Sadly, so far there seems to be little stomach in Congress to pass any such bill, despite the evidence cited in Humphrey's strong letter and the evidence that we all see every day of Rump's dangerous unfitness.
